ボヴェ＝シュル＝バルヴールのおすすめツーリングルート

A very beautiful path along the canal with many locks and small highlights.

Very impressive when you drive through the old city gates.

The Meuse Canal is not perfectly straight like many French canals from the 19th century.

A very beautiful old church where Joan of Arc was baptized and where many people have prayed. It's a must-see.

The basilica is a landmark offering sweeping views over the Meuse Valley. Inside the church, large paintings depict scenes from the life of Joan of Arc.

Choloy-Ménillot National Cemetery in Toul adjacent to the "516th Regiment du Train" military site.

The Basilica of Bois-Chenu (Roman Catholic) is a gigantic monument in Domremy-La-Pucelle. It is also called the Basilica of Sainte Joan of Arc. It is located about 11 km from Neufchâteau on an idyllic hill in the Vosges Mountains. From this wooded hill, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Meuse Valley, surrounded by numerous blooming orchids. The birthplace of France's national heroine is also nearby. The massive basilica was built from pink granite from the Vosges Mountains! Bronzes of Joan of Arc and her family stand in the forecourt of the basilica.

Joan of Arc was a resistance fighter during the Hundred Years' War, an armed conflict between England and France. She is venerated as the Maid of Orleans in France. It is said that Joan was a very young, small woman dressed in men's clothing with short hair. From an early age, she was guided by divine voices. In 1431, she was sentenced to death for witchcraft and burned at the stake at the age of just 19. In 1920, she was canonized by the Pope. Statues, monuments, and museums in her honor can be found throughout the country.
